Chapter Three

*Incoming call*

Natalie Vega

"Alpha the proposal from Mr. Romero is available in your email now I looked it over and seen he attached everything needed but says it urgent. I'm sorry I wouldn't have called otherwise"

"I will look at it"

"She should have just sent a message instead of calling" Fenris mumbles

"I'm meeting with him at 10am tomorrow correct?"

"Yes sir that's correct, again I'm sorry for bothering you"

"Good evening Ms. Vega"

"Y-Yes sir I hope you have a good night!" click

I rake my hands over my face I hate when she apologizes. I pay her to keep me on track that's what a personal assistant is for to call me when nobody else can reach me. I guess you can say I'm not really empathetic to an apology hearing the words "I'm sorry" sets my teeth on edge.

Leo is on the other side of the door I can smell him, Fenris alerts me

knock knock knock

"Come in" I snap roughly

"Good evening Alpha just checking in"

"Leo I'm relieving you for the night head home and get some sleep"

"Alpha unfortunately ill be staying all night, there has been a few persistent phone calls and an alarm trip this evening nothing to worry about as of yet, I just wanted to let you know"

I close my eyes tightly taking in a big mouthful of the whiskey I still have in between my fingers.

"It's Laura isn't it?" turning to face Leo from across the room

"Yes Alpha but I can assure you she wont be bothering you tonight though"

"I'm going to handle that. she has known for two weeks we are not getting back together"

"Well Sir, what women would want to walk away from all this?" he chuckles Leo gestured to me standing in my 2,100sqft penthouse suit placed at the top of a 937ft skyscraper building siting not far from the space needle with water front views and open floor plan layout, with seamless glass windows for pure breath taking views.

"Yeah who could walk away from this" Fenris laughs

"hush you prick" I knew exactly what Leo meant, even though Fenris is an arrogant, egotistical asshole with a God complex, I was the one who built this place to be a statement and much to my recent distaste many women have been able to see it. Mostly in the early mornings as Leo walked them out never to come here again.

"Well Laura was told it from the beginning it wasn't a long term arrangement"

"Should I contact you if the issue persists?"

"No Leo use force if you have to, understand?"

"My pleasure Alpha, let me know if there is anything you need" he turns and walks out the door he came what I need is a shower and to check on Rebecca, but its late and I don't want her sister to see I'm calling her.

"mmmm Bec smells nice" Fenris interjects

"yes, she does doesn't she"

"Oh we are talking now?" he barks

"sure I don't see why not" I chuckle at him I can feel him push the veil away and come to the front and press on my skin making my chest tight and fur sprout on my arms

"Now now, Fen you know I had to, there were to many temptations today to just walk in there and let you be awake"

"I have control!" he balks

"Self control? you old fossil! You wouldn't know what SELF control was if it bit you!"

"If I was in control more than maybe people would like us more!"

"OH I SEE, but whos the one smelling Bec like a creep!?" I raise my eyebrows "Besides its better that we are alone and people fear us"

Fenris goes quiet, I guess after today he just needs to brood it out. I set the now almost empty bottle down on the counter just for it to slip off the edge. Now I could easily catch it to stop the imminent mess that its about to cause but instead I reach out twisting my hand slowly turning my wrist until I'm satisfied with the speed of time the bottle was now stuck in, allowing me in destructive fascination to watch every single crack form on the glass as its own weight broke itself down spider webbing into small pieces listening to the crackle and pop of the class compressing under the pressure.

Idiot -fenris huffs

I roll my eyes at my wolfs response just for him to growl at me for calling him a wolf temperamental much? leaving the shattered remnants on the floor in the kitchen I'm instantly hit with just how truly alone we are. Walking threw the open living room then up the stairs sauntering down the long hallway passing the enticing scent from one of the spare rooms I finally make it to my room. Behind this door is the same pristine condition the rest of my home so my bedroom and bathroom were no different I carried the same sleek designs with cold features of black and white marble and stainless steel fixtures threw out the entire place. I turn the shower on and walk back to the sink to brush my teeth while I go over in my head tomorrows list of to do's as the mirror starts to fog up lightly at the top. I finish my business blindly the only thing that pulls me back to the present is noticing I left the incident report and autopsy results from Dorian on my bed this morning.

I grab them and head to my walk in closet to place the papers in the top drawer of a built in dresser but once I do I'm again hit with more shit trying to elicit an emotional response. In this drawer is the watch box from the Rolex I wore today. Dorian, Nikolai and I purchased matching ones when Rolex was released in 1957 we had no idea at the time how much of a statement names would be by this time. Fenris stirs as I think of Dorian and he sighs heavy knowing he has lost his child again. That's right Dorians wolf was none other than Sköll. I head back to the bathroom but not before grabbing my pants to empty its contents putting my phone and wallet on a desk to charge when Dorians Talisman and Moonstone ring jingle in my left pocket I pull them out noticing his talisman has a hairline crack that is not noticeable with the naked eye. Fenris howls loudly in my head as I walk heavy to the closet again to put them in the top drawer under the Rolex box to be out of site out of mind. finally I make it back to the bathroom steam rolling out from the open glass walls of the shower as I walk I begin to strip off my briefs and my mind wonders a bit farther to the last time I willingly had a woman over. Stepping into the shower to clear some head space. Over the years the urge to bury myself in a woman has felt nauseating so I've been letting Fenris take over once I've had enough of them, fucking anyone that's not my mate makes my stomach churn. But I drink enough to get over the edge, it wasn't always like this for me though. I have an extremely large apatite when it comes to sex. But for some years now its just not been the same. I close my eyes and place my palms flat against the marble wall leaning and letting the water cascade down my back hoping it will relax me even a small amount.

Missed Call

Rebecca Stone

35 minutes have passed as I dry my self tucking the towel around my waist exposing how sharp my Adonis belt is. As I enter my room the air from the hot bathroom to a cool bedroom made me sigh, the silk sheets waiting for me I smile sleepily as I drop my towel on the floor, I crawl to the middle and flop down with my entire weight pressing into my mattress. I exhale deeply with one eye open looking at my clock.2:45am shit I better get some sleep
